Honey Creek Resort

Honey Creek Resort is situated on 850 acres of pristine wilderness in southern Iowa on the shores of Lake Rathbun. The resort features a lodge with 105 beautifully appointed guest rooms. Our grand lobby welcomes you with a 60 foot high, two sided fireplace with Frank Lloyd Wright inspired architecture. The artwork throughout the property is inspired by Iowa wildlife and its native prairie. The resort also showcases other state parks throughout Iowa. When you stay at Honey Creek Resort, you’ll enjoy the ultimate vacation destination, with a wide array of on-site activities and outdoor adventures just steps away from where you stay. Cruise through the waters of gorgeous Rathbun Lake, splash around at our indoor water park, tee up at our 18-hole championship golf course, discover nature’s wonders on our beautiful walking trails, indulge your taste buds at our restaurant, or head outdoors for endless adventures. Relax in a luxurious room at The Lodge on Rathbun Lake, make yourself at home in one of our classic cottages, or take it easy at a well-equipped RV campsite. When you’ve finished a day of exploring wide-open spaces—perhaps hiking the trails, boating across Rathbun Lake, or golfing at The Preserve—rest assured, you’ll also have a space that’s cozy and just for you.
